LEADING AIRMEN

The pllots include some of Russia's most famous flers, with Vodopyanov, the great Aretle airman, leading the squadron.

Two of the planes, it is under- stood, will carry a year's provi- sions, scientio apparatus, dogs, sleds and materials for the con struction of living quarters for the Polar residents.
